ATV festival set for this weekend in Berlin

Jericho All-Terrain Vehicle Festival set for July 26-27

And in the North Country right now, there is plenty of mud to welcome the Jericho All-Terrain Vehicle Festival.

The big ATV event is this weekend and Berlin is staging a huge Main Street Block Party to help celebrate.

The Mud~Music~Main Street event gets underway once Friday’s races and activities conclude at 4 p.m. at Jericho Mountain State Park.

The Jericho ATV Festival July 26 and 27 features a 200 foot by 50 foot mud pit which has been improved by the recent rain for competition.

There will be manufacturer's displays, demo rides, after-market parts and gear, exhibitors and food, in addition to 80 miles of trails to ride.

Admission is $5 per day for adults and it is free to children 6 and under.

Camping is available at the park and at area campgrounds.

On Friday afternoon, festival-goers are being encouraged to hop on their machines and ride about five miles on Route 110 to downtown Berlin, where the city’s streets are open to ATVs for the two days of the festival.

People can enjoy shopping, dining, live music with Straightaway, drawings, giveaways and more.
